no clue on code 24, it's simply not listed... 21 - solar sensor - without looking it up, I believe it is the sensor that is mounted on the drivers side of the dash up by the windshield...

well this is a 2001 gs 300, i don't know if there are different. i also have the heater oxygen sensor code coming on, i wonder if that will activate the cde 24. the solar sensor does the das have to come off for that. i just tried the code and it's like 76 degrees where i am at.

Code 21 and 24 Solar sensor alway there for all the ac system. The brand new LS460 will have two ac codes that you can't clear and Lexus said don't worry about it.
